Daily Heavy: Parkway Drive - Boneyards

Coming from Parkway Drive's second album - the outstanding Horizons - this song is an intense blend of blast beats and some rapid riffing.

The combination of the low hardcore grunts, down tuned guitars and perfectly locked in drum and bass, give this song such impact.

Killswitch Engage guitarist, Adam D, produced this album and his signature production style is clear to hear; the guitar tone and even riff style sounds so much like Killswitch it is uncanny.

The pedal-tone riffs in the song's verses sound like they have been lifted from Killswitch's seminal album, Alive Or Just Breathing. This is no bad thing though - Parkway's vocalist gives them enough individuality to stand out from the metalcore crowd.
